Location: Chicago, IL

Interested in renovating or remodeling your home, but don’t know where to begin? AIA Chicago’s “Working with an Architect” session brings together residential architecture specialists to the talk about choosing an architect, navigating zoning and permit regulations, and avoiding costly surprises. Following the session, attendees will have an opportunity to participate in a 15‐minute one‐on‐one consultation with an architect. Homeowners are encouraged to bring along photos, plans or drawings of their homes.

ABOUT: Working with an Architect is sponsored by the Chicago chapter of the American Institute of Architects (AIA Chicago). Recognizing that most people have never worked with an architect, AIA Chicago launched this public education series in 1994. Since then, the organization has helped hundreds of Chicago‐area homeowners gain a better understanding of whether a project requires an architect’s expertise, how to find the right architect, and what to expect during design and construction. Founded in 1869, AIA Chicago represents nearly 3,000 licensed architects, architectural interns and allied professionals in Illinois.
